37mm, 42mm and bronze executions

The revived Captain Cook has been offered at 37mm as a close reissue of the 1960s watch, at 42mm as here, in bronze, in high-tech ceramic and in skeletonised form. All are factory configurations; the case size does not identify the caliber or the material, and the reference must be read.
